Denver Nuggets Acquire Randy Foye In Three-Team Trade

DENVER, July 10, 2013 – The Denver Nuggets have acquired G Randy Foye from the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team sign-and-trade deal that also includes the Golden State Warriors, Nuggets general manager/executive vice president of basketball operations Tim Connelly announced today.

In addition to Foye, Denver received a future second-round pick from the Warriors in a sign-and-trade agreement for G/F Andre Iguodala, while Utah received a future second-round pick from the Nuggets.

The Warriors received G Kevin Murphy from Utah and sent C Andris Biedrins, F Richard Jefferson and G/F Brandon Rush to the Jazz, along with two future first-round picks, three future second-round picks and cash considerations.

Foye, 6-4, 220, averaged 10.8 points and 2.0 assists while making a franchise-record 178 3-pointers for the Jazz last season. He was one of only five NBA players to shoot better than .400 from 3-point range while taking at least 400 attempts.

“Randy is one of the most dangerous 3-point shooters in the game today,” Connelly said. “He addresses a major need for us on the perimeter, and he will also provide great veteran leadership for our young players.”

Foye has made at least 100 3-pointers three times in his career and is a career .377 shooter from long range. He also is one of the league’s most accurate free-throw shooters, converting 85.6 percent of his foul shots.
